(1) Soil water
deficit avoidance
e.g. root exploration, water conservation, phenology
(2) Stress avoidance
e.g. osmotic adjustment,
root-soil isolation
(4) Damage tolerance
e.g. night-time recovery,
heat shock proteins
(3) Damage avoidance
(stress tolerance)
e.g. leaf orientation,
evaporative cooling,
root to shoot ratio
e.g. death, organ loss
permanent damage
